Additionally there is a further opportunity to study abroad for people from Egypt, Germany, Morocco and Tunisia through an academic exchange program –

The Goethe-Institut, the Kulturwissenschaftliche Institut Essen and the Zentrum für Mittelmeerstudien are looking for young academics from the countries of Egypt, Germany, Morocco, and Tunisia for the ex-change project Scholars in Residence.

Scholars in Residence is a residency program for young academic researchers that promotes the ex-change of scholarly research and provides guest residencies for researchers in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences to visit their colleagues in Germany and abroad. Young scholars are given the opportunity to forge intensive relationships with other researchers, to pursue joint projects and to develop long-term bilateral collaborations within an international context. The program partners a foreign scholar and German scholar who focus on projects that bear upon the program’s annual research themes. Within the focal subject matter, one academic each from the countries of Egypt, Morocco, or Tunisia and one German academic will form a duo team.

Residency in the host country lasts between six and eight weeks. The scholar from Egypt, Morocco or Tunisia will travel to Germany as of October 15, 2012; the German scholar will travel to his/her partner’s country as of January 1, 2013.

The call for applications addresses young academics from the humanities, the cultural, and the social sciences. You can apply individually or already submit a partner application (German applicant and overseas applicant). Eligibility: PhD students and Postdocs. Fluency in English (German is not required for participation)
